Grateful to be alive, Julie tries her best to appreciate every moment--\"this tree, that passing car, the pretzel guy up ahead on the corner. She has, for whatever reason, been given a second chance\"--but her emotional demons are unrelenting, and she is slowly and quietly losing the battle.\u003cbr\u003e Within the narrative of \u003ci\u003eA Mouthful of Air\u003c\/i\u003e is an argument about the nature of depression--its causes, cures, and the price it exacts from its victims. With spare, elegant prose, this brutally honest portrayal of family and self illuminates the power and complexity of the human psyche.\u003cbr\u003e Originally published in 2003, \u003ci\u003eA Mouthful of Air\u003c\/i\u003e now includes an afterword by author Adrienne Miller.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552544006417,"sku":"GOR012385521","price":12.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49943927718161,"sku":"CIN1953387144VG","price":4.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51796839825681,"sku":"CIN1953387144G","price":4.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1953387144.jpg?v=1765447748","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/mouthful-of-air-book-amy-koppelman-9781953387141","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
